About The Position

The Branded Content Creator is a hands-on, social-first creative who ideates, shoots, edits, and publishes content for a multi-brand winery and restaurant group. The role supports three restaurant brands, including a test kitchen concept, and is part of the Marketing team. Working closely with the brand’s content lead and marketing team, the creator turns brand and campaign direction into professional, platform-native content, especially short-form video, Reels, TikToks, and photography. The role owns the production process from concept and capture through editing, color, sound, captions, and final delivery, and may capture and publish content in real time at restaurants, the test kitchen, events, activations, and tastings.

In addition to social content, the creator serves as an on-site and in-house creative resource for broader brand needs, including lifestyle and food photography, video production, marketing campaigns, and guest-facing tasting-room videos. The role publishes and schedules content, provides light community monitoring, supports influencer and cross-brand collaborations, keeps up with platform and cultural trends, and reviews performance with the marketing team to improve future content.
